Title Scream

As far as I’m concerned the 1990s were the apex of gaming excellence. Mega Man, Donkey Kong and Sonic collectively blew my still-developing mind and left me with a long-standing penchant for anything composed from sketchy dot matrices. When vectors replaced pixels, I quickly lost interest. Title Scream is run by Cameron Askin, a similarly backward-thinking individual, and consists of animated gifs of iconic 8 and 16 bit title screens. It has every true classic I can think of and then some, including a screen for The Incredible Hulk that still takes my breath away.
